Yes this is the -STABLE branch.  It just happens that at the present
moment 4.9-STABLE is a release candidate, which is why you see 4.9-RC. 
Once it's released then it will be 4.9-RELEASE and they'll increment
-STABLE to 4.9.1 (or would it go to 4.10?).

Change the "default release" line in the sup file from:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4

to:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_5
or:
*default release=cvs tag=RELENG_4_3

respectively.  Those tags will also get any future security updates to
either of those versions as well.
